an IOI 2x gold medalist, a Navy explosive ordnance officer, and a 17 y/o intern at Coinbase walked into Chase Center last weekend... ...and I interviewed all of them. I found 12 of the most ambitious builders and founders at YC Startup School, out of over 6,000 people. from all over the world, all with the same energy: earnest, creative, resourceful - including one who built a rocket out of salad bowls. PS: you can still apply late to YC F26. 00:00 — Intro 00:28 — Meet the founders and builders 02:01 — What they’re building 09:17 — Should you go to college? 10:46 — Why they started 11:58 — Advice and what’s next

congrats to Philip Johnston and the Starcloud team on the massive $250M round, and $2.3B valuation! was lucky to catch up with Philip at YC Startup School a few weeks ago, where we chatted about how to build and raise money for ambitious ideas (spoiler alert: book a launch to space) Philip really sets the bar on ambition and resourcefulness. goes to show that you really can just make things happen.

.Max Junestrand is a force of nature. Legora grew from $1 million to $100 million in ARR in <2 years, and now over 3% of lawyers worldwide use Legora. I caught him after his talk at YC Startup School to chat backstage about his experience in YC, how his first YC interview went, and why working at a startup is one of the best ways to start your career. his talk is now live, see the link in comments we also have some friendly competition going - is Starcloud or Legora YC's fastest unicorn? Philip Johnston may need to jump in!

"Don't do only the things you're sure you can do. If you only do things you're sure you can do, you're aiming way too short. Take the thing, if you really really believed in yourself, almost to an irrational degree, you're most excited to do. What would make your inner 7-year-old light up? That's the thing to go build, even if you don't know anything about how to do it." Blake Scholl 🛫 is a force of nature, and he's building Boom Supersonic to bring speed back to air travel. I got some time with him at YC Startup School to discuss how to increase your ambition and work on important missions. skip to 2:57 if you want an ambitious startup idea and for Blake Scholl 🛫 to join your board! 0:00 Intro 0:23 Innovating in a legacy space 1:03 The best day at Boom 1:25 Finding ambitious ideas for a startup 1:58 Advice for high schoolers 3:44 Why America is the best country in the world

“I think hard tech is on the rise. Agents make everything easier to do. Hard tech becomes even more fundable and even more doable than before.” I caught Garry Tan backstage before his talk at YC Startup School - to ask about trends he’s seeing in the YC batches and how YC is funding fusion in space.
